Answer:

There's additional information which helps better answer this question:

Which of the following properties of Pluto would best help answer this question?

<em>A.</em><em> surface temperature  </em><em>B.</em><em> composition  </em><em>C.</em><em> apparent brightness    </em>

<em>    </em><em>D.</em><em> color </em><em>E.</em><em> orbital period</em>

Pluto is kind of a mixture of Rock and water ice, with a 70% rock and the rest water ice, estimated that the 70% rock part is its core and the other 30% would be its mantle consisting of water ice and other gases such as nitrogen, carbon monoxide and methane; it is part of the Kuiper belt and it's considered a dwarf planet due it orbits the Sun  and it's bigger than other asteroids and comets to be a dwarf, but not big enough to be a regular planet. Comets are generally more fragile than big asteroids and dwarf planets such as Pluto, their composition make them different objects due cometary nuclei is more like a blend of dust, some roks, water ice and some other gases, they're maily icy dirt balls.

Thus is mostly Pluto's composition which differ it from comets, therefore the best option would be:  <em>B.</em><em>Composition</em>

Why is there not a significant rain shadow effect east of the Rocky Mountains?
Mamont248 [21]
There is a significant rain shadow effect east of the Rockies. One prime example is Denver. Over the course of a year it would typically receive ~20 inches of rain, but many locations to the west of the continental divide receive as much as 40 inches of rain a year. (It's important to note that the rain shadow effect only impacts storms and winds traveling against the mountains. If a storm travels south to north, the effect is severely diminished and can result in a situation where the lee side of the mountains receives more rainfall than the wind side of the mountains.
